I, Robert Smith, show you every step I take to building a custom made solar panel from scratch. I clarify in detail about each item I use and why to use it, so the video is honestly long.

I will be hosting the majority of the video on my own server so you can view it all in one take. It will take time to edit the video, but the more of you that subscribe to the video, the quicker I’ll try to get it out to you guys as it just shows that people are interested and appreciate what I’m doing, as I’m providing this video for free unlike some videos you see on YouTube.

The method I described in this video is just one way to go about it, but, there are many ways you can build a custom solar panel. Some use aluminum or plastic frames, but I found for a beginner, working with wood would probably be simpler and cheaper.

Overall, building a solar panel can be fun, but there are many factors that play into building a solar panel, and I as well still have an extreme amount to still learn about it.

So I hope that for those wanting to learn more about solar energy and wanting to take the adventure of building their own solar panel will find this video very useful.

To watch to full video just video, just visit: http://www.solartechtown.com

Again the video is honestly large, so to prevent from having to place 6 or 7 parts on youtube in 10 minute sections, I’m just going to host in on my server.

If you all have ANY questions, feel free to leave a comment under the video.

Thanks guys!

    Be very care with all those scraps of tabbing wire that you trim. One of those tiny scraps might be lost in the panel, and go around latter causing a small. I am beginning to know what you are saying about the three sections being in series. From left to right, the current flows UP, DOWN, and UP again. OUCH! I just saw a pile of those tab scraps sitting on your pegboard. Find a better trash area!!!

    Those tab wires like to jump around! Use small rocks, wooden blocks, or other weights to keep those rascals still. Keep up the excellent work.

    Nice vids, my group and I are trying to make a Peak Power Tracker (make a solar panel operate at maximum power at a given voltage) we ordered the cells and were looking for a way to mount the cells. Fantastic vids, thanks for shedding some light on this subject.
